Your Guide to Lottery Tickets: Latest Powerball Results & How to Play

For many, the dream of winning a life-changing jackpot starts with a simple purchase: lottery tickets. With the Powerball jackpot resetting after two winners split a massive $1.787 billion prize last Saturday, a new jackpot is now on the line.

Whether you’re a seasoned player or a newcomer hoping for beginner’s luck, here’s everything you need to know about the latest drawing and how to play.

Did Anyone Win Powerball Last Night? September 8, 2025, Results

The winning numbers for Monday night’s Powerball drawing for an estimated $20 million jackpot were:

26, 28, 41, 53, 64, and the Powerball is 9.

The Power Play multiplier was 3X.

As of Tuesday morning, no one has claimed the jackpot prize. This means the jackpot will continue to grow, rolling over for the next drawing. While no one hit the grand prize, thousands of players won smaller prizes by matching some of the numbers. The Double Play drawing also had no jackpot winner, and that prize will roll over as well.

How to Play and Win with Your Lottery Tickets

Playing Powerball is simple and affordable. A single Powerball ticket costs just $2. For an additional $1, you can add the Power Play feature, which multiplies all non-jackpot winnings by up to 10X. The Double Play option, also an extra $1, gives you a second chance at a $10 million jackpot with the same numbers.

You win a prize by matching the numbers on your ticket to the winning numbers drawn. You only need to match one number to win, but that number must be the Powerball to get the smallest prize of $4.

Here is a quick look at how you win:

• Match only the Powerball: Win $4
• Match one number + the Powerball: Win $4
• Match two numbers + the Powerball: Win $7
• Match three numbers: Win $7
• Match three numbers + the Powerball: Win $100
• Match four numbers: Win $100
• Match four numbers + the Powerball: Win $50,000
• Match five numbers: Win $1 million
• Match five numbers + the Powerball: Win the jackpot!

Smart Tips for Buying Lottery Tickets

While the odds of winning the jackpot are astronomical, it only takes one lucky ticket to change your life forever. When buying your lottery tickets, remember these tips:

• Play Responsibly: Only spend what you can afford to lose. The lottery should be a form of entertainment, not a financial strategy.
• Join a Pool: Playing in a lottery pool with coworkers or friends can increase your chances of winning, as you hold more tickets. Just make sure to have a written agreement beforehand!
• Don’t Believe in “Hot” Numbers: Every number has an equal chance of being drawn. Don’t waste your money trying to play based on past results or complex systems.

The next Powerball drawing will be held on Wednesday, so be sure to get your lottery tickets for another chance to win!
